Nonprofit Council - December 2026

December 1, 2026 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM (EST)

Description

“The Deep Dive: A 2026 Nonprofit Council Series" Get ready to suit up and dive beneath the surface! This year our Nonprofit Council’s “Deep Dive” is an 11-month, once-a-month program designed exclusively for nonprofit leaders ready to plunge into the topics that matter most. Each session brings together education, collaboration, networking, and lunch—plus expert speakers who will guide, challenge, and encourage you as you navigate the waters of nonprofit leadership. Whether you’re snorkeling at the surface or exploring the depths, this series will help you sharpen your tools, expand your knowledge, and surface with actionable strategies. 

Quarter One: (January - March) Navigating the Currents — Data & Analysis Start your journey by charting the waters with data. We’ll explore how to gather, interpret, and apply analysis to steer your nonprofit in the right direction. Think of it as your compass and depth gauge—helping you make informed decisions and uncover hidden opportunities below the surface. 

Quarter Two: (April - June) Balancing the Buoyancy — Budgets & Cashflow Every diver needs balance to stay afloat. This quarter, we’ll zero in on budgeting and cashflow, ensuring your organization can glide smoothly instead of being pulled under by financial undertows. Expert voices will share practical tools to help you stay buoyant and financially secure. 

Quarter Three: (August - October) Making a Splash — Programming & Events Now it’s time to make waves! We’ll deep dive into programming and events, exploring creative approaches, measurable impact, and engaging experiences that ripple out into your community. Learn how to design initiatives that don’t just float but truly make a splash. 

December Agenda: Join us for our 6th Annual Storytelling Competition! Our meeting time will be a bit different this month - mark your calendar for 11:00am-1:00pm for this special meeting. Our Nonprofit members will be sharing their story for a panel of judges including: John Holloway – Leadership Outfitters, Neil Keller/Writer – Atlantic Ave Magazine, Noreen Payne – Impact 100, Kirsten Stevens – Kannico Agency, Karyn Keil – Author/Roots and Wings, and Karen Lustgarten – Multi-Media Works.

This year, we're asking each one to go deeper. Forget about the elevator pitch. Forget about the annual report. Forget about simply telling us what their nonprofit does, they will take us beneath the surface.

Each story will be based on one of the following:

  • Need
  • Program
  • Person
  • Moment
  • Challenge
  • Success
  • Possibility

They will dive deep enough that we see it differently than ever before. Their story will be designed to accomplish at least one of three things: Raise Interest or Raise Awareness or Raise Funds.

Don't miss out on this exciting year's finale. Join us for a great competition, lunch and celebration! What a great way to finish up our year of THE DEEP DIVE!
